Last day na namin ng training for the new LOB. Nag render kami ng overtime sa aming current LOB. I think that was May 1 so it is a legal holiday. Kapag ganitong panahon ay maraming nag-o-ot. 100% kasi ang pay on top of the normal salary for the first 8 hours.

To sleep or not to sleep in thy own bed, that is the question. We normally associate sleeping with nighttime and bedroom. However, we do not belong to the norm.

I work in a BPO which has a call-center office and am working during the graveyard shift (around 11pm to 8am the next day) so my sleeping habit is not normal. Because of this, people who are in the same position as I am seem to be the target of the sleeping fairy.

I sometimes see people falling asleep in front of the computer or while being on hold on the phone. It is also a normal occurrence to see people fall asleep while travelling either on a bus, jeepney, train, or airplane.

In line with this, I would like to present my travelling companions who seem to be favored by sleeping fairy.

I was on my way to work for my Sunday shift @ 1am. I was bewildered about the amount of people travelling up north. There were more people than usual, the busses overflowing, and traffic was slow moving.

Wait a minute. Today is the second part of the Eraserheads reunion concert! Argh! Of all the times to have traffic - I am running late!

I've listened to their songs since highschool. How can I not? My classmate was an avid fan. She even had a nickname related to it - DenEly. Her name is Denise and she had major feelings for Ely Buendia. She's a major fan. She became the walking information for anything related to the band.

It's a good thing whenever a disbanded band reunites to give a rocking awesome performance concert as an ode to all their adoring fans. It's been more than a decade since they started singing our favorite songs like Toyang, Magasin, Pare Ko, Huling El Bimbo etc. They still haven't lost the magic to enamour the fans with their songs and band's chemistry. Some of us would like them to make songs as a group again but i know that is is impossible. All of them have already moved on and are successful with the bands that they've created. All I can say is thanks for the memories Eraserheads.

Just the other day I saw an road accident involving three vehicles. Two empty trailer trucks and sandwiched between them is a toyota crosswind. Today on my way to work, I saw another road accident involving a taxi cab and a toyota black car. Both accidents happened near the hour of midnight. One of the case of accident in ayala cor makati ave is because of the traffic light. It was not working.

It reminded me of what happened to former senator Rene Saguisag and his late wife Dulce Saguisag. Their accident happened a couple of hours past midnight. Everyday when we turn on the news, we learn about road accidents. It is such a common occurence and frankly that scares me. I remember when my sister was on her way to work at around 5 am. when a drunk tricycle driver hit the jeep she was on. A piece of shrapnel was embedded on her head and the driver - who was a very good man - took her to a nearby clinic and paid for her head to be stiched. She had a mild concussion and she had to be confined at MMC Parañaque. There was another time when we were on our way home from MOA at around 8 or 9pm when a bus driver cut infront of us to make a U-turn. My father pressed the break in time so we did not have a scratch on the owner jeep. Of course all of us at the back needed to get our bearings back because we were sprawled on the jeep floor.

The most scary car accident that my parents had happened early midnight when they were about to fetch my sister. A drunk driver mistook the distance of the turning point and ramned against the driver side of the our owner jeep. It just missed the gas tank by a few inches. Luckily it hit the left rear wheel and the car got underneath the jeep. The other car initially smashed the left side mirror which accounted for the blood on my dad's face. It wasn't that terrible but the thought that it could have been worse scared the hell out of me that night. I found out about it when my sister called and told me of what happened. I was so freaked out that I cried after hanging up the phone. I immediately called a friend of mine just so I could vent out.

I'm not that afraid of common things like snakes, bugs, and the like. My worst fear is that something bad happening to my family. Especially if it is caused by someone else in the form of an accident - like road related accident. It's just too traumatic for me.
